Don't be an alarmist, don't think you're amazing just because you have money.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, I really am amazing because I have money.\" Aaron replied amiably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scott's face twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How detestable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Charles quickly interrupted Scott, \"Scott, you go take care of the other students first. We need to have a good talk with Mr. Aaron.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Professor?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scott was astonished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charles didn't speak. He just waved his hand, and Scott could only turn and leave. His back was like that of a defeated dog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Aaron, do you have a way to solve Jean's problem?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When I first met her, I detected that terrifying power within her. It was so savage, so terrifying, I had no choice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charles sighed. \"I constructed a mental barrier to contain it, but recently I've been feeling increasingly powerless. It's constantly growing, and one day it will break free.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the eyes of outsiders, he was like a god, capable of controlling the lives and deaths of others with a single thought. But in front of that unknown power within Jean, he was just an ordinary mortal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mortal imprisoning a god... the outcome was already predetermined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Professor?\" Jean was even more bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tried hard to recall the situation at the time, but back then, her abilities were too weak to even notice Charles's manipulation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, I have a way to solve her problem. This is Osborn Industries. If we can't solve it, then no one in the world can solve her problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Primordial Furnace, Aaron didn't think a mere Phoenix fragment could stump him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What's more, even if Jean completely awakened at this moment, what then?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just a Phoenix fragment. He was confident he could forcibly control it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charles and the others all nodded in agreement with Aaron's words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a renowned geneticist in the world, Charles was considered a top Professor. Precisely because of this, he clearly understood the level of biotechnology contained in the several reagents released by Osborn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were not products that should exist in this era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Osborn Industries' research in biomedicine was at least twenty years ahead of Earth's current mainstream laboratories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were Stark Industries, Charles wouldn't have given it much thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Osborn Industries...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no choice but to visit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to figure out Aaron's stance on Mutants. He dared not imagine what kind of terrifying disaster would occur if such a massive biomedical corporation were to notice Mutants and begin researching their genes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at the moment, he had no opportunity to continue asking about his stance, and instead urgently asked, \"Then how should we proceed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have a feeling that power is not an ability given to her by her genes. It seems to be a special external life form?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charles was not certain of the Phoenix's essence. But that vast, ocean-like mental sea filled him with an innate fear. In front of that monster, perhaps he couldn't even resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was quite doubtful of Aaron's abilities. He knew that Aaron seemed to possess extraordinary power, but that monster within Jean...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could be called a demon god.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It possessed the potential to destroy the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't question my abilities. If you trust me, then Jean will follow me for a period of time until I completely resolve her trouble.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron definitely wanted to get his hands on the Phoenix Force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he wanted Jean too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Jean's talent, continuing to stay at the X-Mansion would be a complete waste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason Jean could become the Phoenix's host was precisely because she possessed Omega-level Mutant potential, rven far exceeding Charles himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even with such potential, her psychic abilities were far less developed than Charles's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Controlling two missiles was quite strenuous. Her actual combat ability was only that of an ordinary Level 3 Mutant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn't this a joke?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron always avoided waste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was confident that under his guidance, Jean would usher in her true peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charles hesitated for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was not at ease. Jean was currently like a ticking time bomb, one that could explode at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keeping her by his side was tricky, but keeping her by someone else's side was even more dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone tried to use this power, the consequences would be unimaginable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Aaron, how do you view the group of Mutants?\" Charles carefully considered his words, then tentatively asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as Aaron showed any dissatisfaction, he would absolutely not agree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it meant offending the most prominent and powerful person in the world, he would not let Jean stay by his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mutants? You're asking me what I think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron's expression was strange, and he shook his head, saying, \"No opinion whatsoever.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charles was stunned. It was the first time he had heard such an answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't you think Mutants are very dangerous? They possess powerful abilities, even extraordinary powers far exceeding those of ordinary people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Some Mutants also have very unique appearances, making it difficult for them to interact normally with people...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charles spoke very euphemistically, mainly because some Mutants were truly very ugly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like fish in the deep sea, because no one sees them in the darkness, they are completely free to develop, appearing in all sorts of strange and bizarre forms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very dangerous? Are they?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron held a light as brilliant as the sun in his right hand and asked, \"Am I dangerous?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charles stared intently at the ball of light in Aaron's hand. He felt the terrifying power contained within it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need to look. You can think of it as that thing on Tony's chest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're saying this thing is nuclear fusion?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charles's face turned pale, and he subconsciously wanted to run, then realized he couldn't move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the power of the sun?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charles looked up, staring strangely at Aaron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder you're not afraid, it turns out you are the most dangerous person in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no doubt that just one of this stuff would be enough to blow up the entire Osborn Exposition—no, it should be the entire Manhattan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charles chuckled, pointing at the little sun. \"Can you put it away first?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron closed his hand, and the little sun disappeared. \"So, are you as dangerous as I am?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charles and Jean shook their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron asked, \"So, do I still need to discuss some meaningless questions?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charles remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>",1091,"2026-06-05T16:52:19.138Z",1,"novelbin.me","25f57ac22e64d505eb06994f89454233949570a6c26b6e86f09f0ffa4a0172c3","marvel-the-devourer-chapter-108","marvel-the-devourer-chapter-106",363,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarvel-the-devourer-cover.jpg"]
